In Wake of New Romaine Lettuce Recall, FoodLogiQ Calls Supply Chain Management and Food Traceability "More Important Than Ever"
Summary
FoodLogiQ, the leading SaaS provider of food safety compliance, traceability, and supply chain transparency software solutions, shared thoughts from corporate leadership today in the wake of the ongoing E. coli outbreak linked to romaine lettuce. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has also stated it is not certain where in the supply chain the contamination occurred, as no common grower, supplier, distributor or brand of romaine lettuce has been identified. In the meantime, consumers were advised this week to beware of purchasing or eating romaine lettuce harvested from the Salinas, California growing region. That supply chain visibility mitigates risk, which is extremely valuable when consumer safety is at stake.” “Currently, 99% of the produce sold by volume to Subway® has a GS1-128 barcode, which is the industry-recognized standard for traceability by product and location and the foundation of FoodLogiQ’s platform. Now our distributor partners are starting to scan the barcodes as they deliver each case to our restaurants, helping us reach our full supply chain traceability goals,” says Angarita.
